I would like to mention that they were easily able to go up and down the companion way stairs and often sunbathed on the bow while at anchor. both of the dogs could jump down into the dingy and back up on deck. they were only sea sick once and they were in the bow so we just kept them midships or in the cockpit. boredom was the only real problem so we made sure to go to the beach often not to mention wresling in the v-berth.

Chuckles-

How can a dog be too fat to float...fat floats.

Is that why Giu's boat floats.

I noticed that Simon wisely waited until Giu was headed for the airport and will be unable to retaliate for at least six or seven hours.

Simon-

Pray they do not have free WiFi at the airport.

Giu's boat isn't fat - he just has a wide stance.

and to the OP, sorry we rascals seem to have hijacked your thread.

Good for you!! Six months is a nice cruise. Although, I can't say the idea of having dogs peeing in the cockpit appeals to me.

What boat did you end up in? What happened to the 5 year plan?

I have trained the younger to poop on a square foot of carpet. Now these are little bull terriers both under 50 pounds. I absolutely cannot leave them behind we plan on cruising the Caribbean then mexico for the next 5 years or so. We will hopefully be cruising on a valiant 37.

And where did he do his other business? Did you take him ashore every time?
